The Common Playbooks content pack, installed by default, provides support for common tasks that are part of many analyst workflows. These playbooks can support multiple integrations, and can be used independently or as a sub-playbook for your larger use case.

You can view a [full list of the playbooks in the Common Playbooks content pack and their descriptions](https://cortex.marketplace.pan.dev/marketplace/details/CommonPlaybooks/) in the **Content** tab of the pack.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsiam-developer-guide/cortex-xsiam-development-guide/playbooks/generic-playbooks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
